Good monitoring and reporting but needs to work with other platforms outside of Microsoft
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable."
  • "It's only good for a Microsoft environment."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for both deployment and operating system deployment, and also as security for patching.

What is most valuable?

Its most valuable aspect is it is very connected with the Microsoft ecosystem. 

The solution is stable.

It has the capability to scale.

The monitoring and reporting are okay.

What needs improvement?

It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use.

They need to take into consideration the Linux operating system and not only the Microsoft operating system.

The solution needs better patching across applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been dealing with the solution for seven or eight years at this point. It's been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. it's quite reliable for the most part.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scaling, it can scale more or less. It is scalable, however, you need a bigger infrastructure to achieve this scalability, which is not the case with other products.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is pretty good. We are mostly satisfied with the support on offer. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We've used Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Ivanti Endpoint. With Ivanti, it's a much more open system for different kinds of IT infrastructure. Whatever the operating system, whatever the application, it's good. It's easier also to deploy as well. You don't need a big infrastructure to deploy Ivanti Endpoint. The ability of Ivanti to have an extension for the ITSM solution is good.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

If you consider a Microsoft bundle in the operating system, it's pretty interesting in terms of pricing. If you're considering it as a standalone, it's difficult to sell, due to the price. 

What other advice do I have?

We use both cloud and on-premises deployments. 

We're quite satisfied with this product.

I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We've mostly been happy with the product.

Easy to deploy mobile device management solution; agile, stable, and scalable product
Pros and Cons
  • "Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
  • "What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."

What is our primary use case?

We're using Microsoft Intune for MDM (mobile device management).

It's also used for securing devices. This solution also lets you access your corporate data on mobile devices. You can secure and ensure that whatever data you're accessing and using from mobile devices is in a secure channel, that the data is between your end user and your cloud provider.

There are certain policies you can set up, that can go on both the device level and application level.

What is most valuable?

What I like most about Microsoft Intune is that it's agile and easy to deploy. I also like that it covers the maximum number of policies.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft Intune is doing well. They're adding endpoints, so it's good that they're covering that, and they're more stable. What I'd like to see in their next upgrade is more in the context of today's security policies and what's needed, for them to keep adding features based on that, e.g. boosting security, so they can keep on adding security features, and that is the best they can do.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been deploying Microsoft Intune to customers for four years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Microsoft Intune is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I find Microsoft Intune scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support for Microsoft Intune was knowledgeable.

How was the initial setup?

The setup for this solution was straightforward. It was quick and it was easy, but it would still depend on the policies.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

You have to pay for a Microsoft Intune license. It's a user-based subscription. You can go for a monthly or a yearly payment. It's up to the customer.

What other advice do I have?

We have the maximum number of clients using Microsoft Intune. For deployment and maintenance, it depends on the customers and the number of devices they have, and the policies, e.g. they can have one, two, or three resources for deploying and maintaining this solution.

I'm recommending Microsoft Intune to people who want to start using it. They can go for it for one reason: the Microsoft ecosystem. My advice to people who are looking into implementing this solution is for them to know first what they want to achieve from it, before they make their decision.

My rating for Microsoft Intune is eight out of ten.

Best support, built for enterprises, and helpful for controlling the mobile devices connected to the corporate network
Pros and Cons
  • "It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
  • "Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for mobile device management. 

Intune is on a public cloud because it works on Office 365.

What is most valuable?

It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network.

What needs improvement?

Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been dealing with Microsoft for the past three decades, and we have been using Intune from the time it came to the market.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is absolutely scalable. It is for enterprises.

How are customer service and support?

It is world-class. It is the best.

How was the initial setup?

Its setup is easy. It is a Microsoft solution, and everything is easy with Microsoft.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs.

What other advice do I have?

It is a wonderful product. I would advise others to go for it. It is definitely helpful for an enterprise. It has been improving constantly. When they introduced it, it was only for Microsoft, and now, even Apple has been included. They're doing well.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

Wide range of device management, scalable, and highly stable
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
  • "When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution for mobile device management.

What is most valuable?

One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways.

What needs improvement?

When Microsoft Intune is used with different android devices it does not always work as it is supposed to.

The enrollment in Microsoft Intune is based on user accounts and not devices. It can be different to maintain different profiles for the same user. It cannot work together with other solutions. For example, if you have a normal user having a mobile phone, and they also have a tablet that they use that is managed from another MDM solution, such as Airwatch, the two can not cooperate if you are using the same Microsoft account on those two devices. They need to allow enrolment through the device IDs.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with this solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not had any issue with the scalability.

We have approximately 7,000 users using this solution.

How was the initial setup?

I do not think it is ever straightforward to use a Mobile Device Management System. Especially in our case, we were enrolling a lot of different devices that were already in use. That is always complicated and I do not think the fault is with Intune. It is complicated because Android can be used by different manufacturers, such as Huawei, Samsung, or Sony, and all of them can be very different.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

Scalable, very easy to use, and simple to set up with good documentation
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
  • "They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."

What is most valuable?

It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface.

What needs improvement?

They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular.

Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for around five years. I am using its latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants. There is still room for improvement there.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have interacted with them. Their first response was fast, but after that, they were not that helpful. I would rate them a three out of five.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Microsoft Intune is the only solution I have used.

How was the initial setup?

It is pretty straightforward. There is good documentation for that.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this product. I would also recommend using the cloud-only solution if possible. Don't go for on-premises because it is not very consistent. Just stay on the cloud.

I would rate Microsoft Intune an eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature is the integration with Office 365 and Azure.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the integration with Office 365 and Azure. This is due to having the single sign-on experience, management, and policy deployment directly from the Azure console.

How has it helped my organization?

Mobile phones and devices are now delivered in a few minutes to the user and Intune does all of the configuration automatically. Before Intune, the manual process took more than one hour.

What needs improvement?

Intune has no remote control function for mobile phones to solve issues remotely for users.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We did not encounter any issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We did not encounter any issues with scalability.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we used Sybase Afaria. It was too complex and it was not stable.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was very simple and fast.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is good to negotiate with Microsoft as part of their other services, such as Office 365 or Azure.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated AirWatch, SOTI MobiControl, and IBM MaaS360.

What other advice do I have?

If they have Office 365 or Azure, Intune is by far the best choice.
